　　Now Playing: Guardians Of The Galaxy 3 Might Begin Filming Sooner Than Expected - GameSpot Universe News Update

　　Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 was originally expected to hit theatres in May 2020, but plans changed when Gunn was fired. Before he was re-hired, Gunn signed with Warner Bros. to write and direct The Suicide Squad. That movie is releasing in August 2021, so some expected Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 to not shoot until later. But it looks like plans have shifted forward.

　　The entire future of the Marvel Cinematic Universe is unclear at this stage. Marvel plans to reveal its plans for Phase 4 after the release of Spider-Man: Far From Home in July. That's right around when Comic-Con takes place in San Diego.

　　In others Guardians of the Galaxy news, Star-Lord's outfit and other related gear is now available in Fortnite--check out all the images here.

　　Next up for Gunn is the superhero horror movie Brightburn, which he is producing. You can check out a harrowing new clip from the film here.
